News Topical, Digital Desk : The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has succeeded in extraditing notorious criminal Angad Singh Chandok from the US to India in a major online fraud case. Indian citizen Angad Singh Chandok is accused of stealing millions of dollars from American citizens through an online tech support scam by creating a network of shell companies. It is said that he transferred this money earned through fraud to India and other countries through shell companies. The CBI has worked hard to bring Chandok to India.
Chandok was sentenced to 6 years in prison in America
The US Department of Justice had said in a press statement issued in March 2022 that Chandok has been convicted in a case of fraud against American senior citizens. The US court had sentenced him to 6 years in prison for this crime. Chandok's fraud scheme mainly targeted senior citizens, who were duped in the name of fake tech support services. The CBI followed a long and complex legal process in collaboration with US authorities to extradite Chandok to India. After several years of legal battle, the CBI finally succeeded in bringing him to India.
CBI will seek custody of Chandok
Now Chandok will be produced in court in India, where the CBI will demand his custody so that the case can be thoroughly investigated and further legal action can be taken. Let us tell you that this extradition is being considered an important achievement for the CBI, as it shows India's strong action against cyber crime and financial fraud at the international level. Cases of cyber crime have been coming to the fore in India and the country's law enforcement agencies keep taking action against the accused. Cyber crime is now being taken seriously in the country and this is the reason why cyber criminals are being constantly cracked down on.
